Recently, as personal information utilization devices such as IoT, artificial intelligence, and wearable devices that focus on the individual have spread, privacy violations are also increasing. However, the privacy paradox of providing personal information to enjoy services while worrying is getting stronger. However, there are still preliminary studies on this. In this study, an intelligent home camera based on IoT technology was selected as a research object, and whether privacy paradox exists in the IoT environment, including smart home camera, was studied. To this end, the effect of perceived usefulness, a benefit factor of smart home camera use, and privacy concern, a risk factor, on intention to use was verified. In addition, it was investigated whether the relationship between privacy concerns and intention to use differs according to the presence or absence of use experience. In order to verify the research model, a survey was conducted with people with and without experience in using smart home cameras, and a total of 298 data samples were used for statistical analysis. As a result of the analysis, it was found that both perceived usefulness and privacy concerns had a positive effect on the intention to use, proving that privacy paradox exists in the IoT-based smart home camera environment. In addition, by analyzing the fact that privacy concerns have different effects on usage intentions depending on the user experience, it was verified that those with experience have a strong privacy paradox and those without experience have a weak privacy paradox. This study is meaningful because it seeks strategic implications to improve service and business performance by understanding the relationship between privacy attitudes and behaviors of IoT service providers, including smart home cameras.

Today's Internet of Things (IoT) has had a dramatic increase in the use of various daily aspects. As a consequence, many homes adopt IoT technology to move towards the smart home. So, the home can be called smart when it has a range of smart devices that are united into one network, such as cameras, sensors, etc. While IoT smart home devices bring numerous benefits to human life, there are many security concerns associated with these devices. These security concerns, such as user privacy, can result in an insecure application. In this research, we focused on analyzing the vulnerabilities of IoT smart home cameras. This will be done by designing a new model that follows the STRIDE approach to identify these threats in order to afford an efficient and secure IoT device. Then, apply a number of test cases on a smart home camera in order to verify the usage of the proposed model. Lastly, we present a scheme for mitigation techniques to prevent any vulnerabilities that might occur in IoT devices.

The ubiquitous smart home is the home of future that takes advantage of context information from user and home environment and provides automatic home services for the user. User's location and motion are the most important contexts in the ubiquitous smart home. This paper presents a method positioning user's location using four cameras and some home context parameter together with user preferences provided. Some geometry math problems would be raised to figure out approximately which area is monitored by cameras. The moving object is detected within the image frames and then simulated in a 2D window to present visually where user is located and show his moving. The moving ways are statistically recorded and used for predicting user's future moving.

The local storage method for home cameras, which relies on inserting an SD card into the device to store data, offers a convenient and cost-effective solution, as there are no recurring expenses after purchasing the SD card. However, we recognize that this method comes with significant security challenges. In particular, the ease with which third parties can access the SD card makes it vulnerable to both physical and software tampering. As the acceptance rate of home camera footage as evidence in courts has increased, we have become increasingly aware of the critical nature of these security issues. Digital data from home cameras, unlike other types of physical evidence, can be more easily tampered with and altered. To ensure that such data is recognized as valid legal evidence, we must prove its integrity and demonstrate that it has not been tampered with. In response to these challenges, we are committed to strengthening the security measures for both the home camera device and its local storage. By doing so, we aim to ensure the integrity and reliability of the data, thereby enhancing the overall security and trustworthiness of home camera systems.

The goal of this paper is to analyze and build an algorithm to recognize hand gestures applying to smart home applications. The proposed algorithm uses image processing techniques combing with artificial neural network (ANN) approaches to help users interact with computers by common gestures. We use five types of gestures, namely those for Stop, Forward, Backward, Turn Left, and Turn Right. Users will control devices through a camera connected to computers. The algorithm will analyze gestures and take actions to perform appropriate action according to users requests via their gestures. The results show that the average accuracy of proposal algorithm is 92.6 percent for images and more than 91 percent for video, which both satisfy performance requirements for real-world application, specifically for smart home services. The processing time is approximately 0.098 second with 10 frames/sec datasets. However, accuracy rate still depends on the number of training images (video) and their resolution.

Smart home services are growing rapidly as the development of the Internet of Things (IoT) opens the era of the so-called "Connected Living." Although personal information leaks through smart home cameras are increasing, however, users-while concerned-tend to take passive measures to protect their personal information. This study theoretically explained and verified how to design effective software update notification messages for smart home cameras to ensure that users comply with the recommended security behavior (i.e., update installation). In a survey experiment participated in by 120 actual users, the effectiveness of both emotional appeals (i.e., security breach warning images for fear appeals) and rational appeals (i.e., loss-framed messages emphasizing the negative consequences of not installing the updates) were confirmed. The results of this study provide theoretical interpretations and practical guidelines on the message design features that are effective for threat appraisals (i.e., severity, vulnerability) of smart home camera users and their protection motivation.

Objective: This study aims to conduct a comprehensive review of monitoring systems to monitor and manage physical function of community-dwelling elderly living alone and suggest future directions of unobtrusive monitoring. Design: Literature review Methods: The importance of health-related monitoring has been emphasized due to the aging population and novel corona virus (COVID-19) outbreak.As the population gets old and because of changes in culture, the number of single-person households among the elderly is expected to continue to increase. Elders are staying home longer and their physical function may decline rapidly,which can be a disturbing factorto successful aging.Therefore, systematic elderly management must be considered. Results: Frequently used technologies to monitor elders at home included red, green, blue (RGB) camera, accelerometer, passive infrared (PIR) sensor, wearable devices, and depth camera. Of them all, considering privacy concerns and easy-to-use features for elders, depth camera possibly can be a technology to be adapted at homes to unobtrusively monitor physical function of elderly living alone.The depth camera has been used to evaluate physical functions during rehabilitation and proven its efficiency. Conclusions: Therefore, physical monitoring system that is unobtrusive should be studied and developed in the future to monitor physical function of community-dwelling elderly living alone for the aging population.
